Removing bikelanes is not…

Removing bikelanes is not only short sighted but irresponsible. Making safer and more accessible bikeways (and improving public transit) will go much further in reducing the city's traffic issue than removing bikelanes. Above that, you are putting people's lives at risk. People choose to bike for a myriad of reasons (environmentally friendly, good for health, faster than driving walking or taking public transit in many cases, etc, etc, etc). The lack of bike infrastructure in this city is costing lives, and is detrimental to the city as a whole.
